Context. The study of high redshift Tully-Fisher relations (TFRs) is limited by the use of long slit spectrographs, rest frame B band and star formation selected galaxies. Aims. We try to circumvent these issues by using integral field spectroscopy (SINFONI), by studying the rest frame K band and stellar mass TFR, and by selecting targets without a bias to strongly star forming galaxies. In this paper, we demonstrate our methods on our best case. This galaxy, F257, at z=2.03, was selecte from a sample of candidate high redshift large disk galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South that were selected with photometric and morphological criteria. Methods. We used SINFONI at the VLT to obtain an integral field spectrum of the Halpha line and hence a velocity field and rotation curve. We also use UBVIJHK+IRAC band photometry to determine a stellar photometric mass. Results. We find that F257 is indistinguishable from local late type galaxies in many respects: it has a regular velocity field, increasing velocity disperion towards its center, its rotation curve flattens at 1-2 disk scale lengths, it has the same specific angular momentum as local disks, its properties are consistent with the local K band TFR. Although mainly rotationally supported, its gas component is dynamically heated with respect to local galaxies (V/sigma_z ~ 4) and it is offset from the local stellar mass TFR at the 2sigma level. But, this offset depends on the SED modeling parameters. In particular, for a 2-component star formation history (SFH), F257 is in agreement with the local stellar mass TFR. F257 is then a nearly (~75%) maximum disk. The dynamical properties of F257 are more like those of local galaxies than those of any other galaxy at similar redshift observed to date. However, the gas-to-stellar mass ratio is unusally large: 2.5.

We describe observations of a galaxy in the field of the $z=2.483$ radio galaxy 4C 23.56, photometrically selected to have a spectral-energy distribution consistent with an old stellar population at the redshift of the radio galaxy. Exploration of re
dshift--stellar-population-reddening constraints from the photometry indicates that the galaxy is indeed at a redshift close to that of 4C23.56, that the age of the most recent significant star formation is roughly >~2 Gyr, and that reddening is fairly modest, with more reddening required for the younger end of stellar age range. From analysis of a deep adaptive-optics image of the galaxy, we find that an r^1/4-law profile, common for local spheroidal galaxies, can be excluded quite strongly. On the other hand, a pure exponential profile fits remarkably well, while the best fit is given by a Sersic profile with index n=1.49. Reconstruction of the two-dimensional form of the galaxy from the best-fit model is consistent with a disk galaxy with neither a significant bulge component nor gross azimuthal structure. The assembly of roughly 2L* of old stars into such a configuration this early in the history of the universe is not easily explainable by any of the currently popular scenarios for galaxy formation. A galaxy with these properties would seem to require smooth but rapid infall of the large mass of gas involved, followed by a burst of extremely vigorous and efficient star formation in the resulting disk.
Spiral galaxies dominate the local galaxy population. Disks are known to be fragile with respect to collisions. Thus it is worthwhile to probe under which conditions a disk can possibly survive such interactions. We present a detailed morpho-kinemati
cs study of a massive galaxy with two nuclei, J033210.76--274234.6, at z=0.4. The morphological analysis reveals that the object consists of two bulges and a massive disk, as well as a faint blue ring. Combining the kinematics with morphology we propose a near-center collision model to interpret the object. We find that the massive disk is likely to have survived the collision of galaxies with an initial mass ratio of ~4:1. The N-body/SPH simulations show that the collision possibly is a single-shot polar collision with a very small pericentric distance of ~1 kpc and that the remnant of the main galaxy will be dominated by a disk. The results support the disk survival hypothesis. The survival of the disk is related to the polar collision with an extremely small pericentric distance. With the help of N-body/SPH simulations we find the probability of disk survival is quite large regardless whether the two galaxies merge or not.
In this paper we present a simple color-magnitude selection and obtain a large sample of 33,893 massive quiescent galaxies at intermediate redshifts (1<z<1.5). We choose the longest wavelength available in the Hyper-Supreme-Cam (HSC) deep survey, the
Y band and i-Y color, to select the 4000A Balmer jump in passive galaxies to the highest redshift possible within the survey. With the rich multi-wavelength data in the HSC deep fields, we then confirm that the selected galaxies are in the targeted redshift range of 1<z<1.5, lie in the passive region of the UVJ diagram, and have high stellar masses at log(M*/M_sun)>10.5, with a median of log(M*/M_sun)=11.0. A small fraction of our galaxies is also covered by the HST CANDELS. Morphological analysis in the observed H band shows that the majority of this subsample are early-type galaxies. As massive early-type galaxies trace the high density regions in the large scale structure in the universe, our study provides a quick and simple way to obtain a statistical significant sample of massive galaxies in a relative narrow redshift range. Our sample is 7-20 times larger at the massive end (log(M*/M_sun)>10.5) than any existing samples obtained in previous surveys. This is a pioneer study, and the technique introduced here can be applied to future wide-field survey to study large scale structure, and to identify high density region and clusters.
High-velocity galactic outflows, driven by intense bursts of star formation and black hole accretion, are invoked by current theories of galaxy formation to terminate star formation in the most massive galaxies and to deposit heavy elements in the in
tergalactic medium. From existing observational evidence on high-redshift galaxies, it is unclear whether such outflows are localized to regions of intense star formation just a few kiloparsecs in extent, or whether they instead have a significant impact on the entire galaxy and its surroundings. Here we present two-dimensional spectroscopy of a star-forming galaxy at redshift z=3.09 (seen 11.5 Gyr ago, when the Universe was 20 per cent of its current age): its spatially extended Ly-alpha emission appears to be absorbed by HI in a foreground screen covering the entire galaxy, with a lateral extent of at least 100 kpc and remarkable velocity coherence. It was plausibly ejected from the galaxy during a starburst several 1E8 yr earlier and has subsequently swept up gas from the surrounding intergalactic medium and cooled. This demonstrates the galaxy-wide impact of high-redshift superwinds.
We present a comprehensive analysis of Chandra X-ray observations of 15 young radio quasars at redshifts $4.5 < z < 5.0$. All sources are detected in the $0.5-7.0$ keV energy band. Emission spectra are extracted, and the average photon index for the
sample is measured to be $1.5pm0.1$. Unabsorbed rest-frame $2-10$ keV luminosities are found to range between $(0.5-23.2) times 10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$. The optical-X-ray power-law spectral index $alpha_{ox}$ is calculated for each source using optical/UV data available in the literature. The $alpha_{ox}$-UV relationship is compared with other quasar surveys, and an anticorrelation is observed that agrees with independent estimates. Rest-frame radio and X-ray luminosities are established for the sample, and a correlation between the luminosities is detected. These multiwavelength results reinforce a lack of spectral evolution for quasars over a broad redshift range. We additionally identify three quasars from our multiwavelength analysis that are statistically significant outliers, with one source being a Compton-thick candidate in the early universe, and discuss each in detail.
